Movies of James Reserve and CENS systems

Given the complexity of our dynamic kml layers, especially to first time users, and given a need for smooth-running demonstrations for presentation-use, I have created a number of screen capture movies.

Unfortunately, these movies were designed to be narrated live by a person. Whereas there are little "text" slides between movie segments, they won't be able to properly explain what you are about to see. In order to make sense of it all, I would be happy to answer any questions you have, and give the accompanying talk.

James Reserve Systems: as presented at SCGIS 2006 - (4min / 1024x768 / H.264)

 

Center for Embedded Network Sensing Systems: (4min / 800x600 / H.264)

*Some of the features in the second movie are not directly related to the James Reserve, as they pertain to other CENS projects. These include:

 

Shortcomings of GE's Movie Maker Module:

Because Google Earth Pro's built-in Movie Maker add-in does not capture the HTML content of Placemarker balloons, I found it unsuitable for my demo movies. Thus, I found open-source alternatives to meet my needs. The focus on free and open-source utilizes is not only beneficial for financially constrained educational programs such as our own, but also for the public-interest organizations Google Earth Outreach wishes to serve. Here is a short list of the tools and software I used to create these movies:
